I'm not sure I have all the readiness things for preschool! What is my address??? ( :
What a great list! Something you might want to add to book knowledge is knowing the parts of the book (front, back, top, bottom, cover, spine, title page, etc.) Also knowing what an author and illustrator do is important. Just some ideas from a former Pre-K teacher!
Great addition, Jennifer! any more?
